WEAPONS
Zia can use several different weapons. The ones she is oviously most skilled with is the twin daggers, which she always keeps well sharpened and by her sides.
She also favors the scythe - her father's weapon of choice. She is extremely agile, however, and while she may use a long scythe with a pole-like handle to do pole-vaulting-like manuevers, she prefers double hand-scythes, which she can continue to flip around with to her leisure, and to her own abilities.
Despite her Elvin heritage, Zia never quite mastered archery. But, with extensive training, she mastered throwing knives. She keeps three knives strapped in each boot, concealed by the baggy bottoms of her pants.
Combined with her mixed, but not mastered, knowledge of Martial Arts, Zia may not be the strongest of fighters, but she is NOT one you wanna fight against.
Her father trained her until age 15 to use black magic. She has yet to get to his area of mastery over the art, but she is talented - some would say gifted. She uses the elemental magics when she knows it will cause a distinct advantage over her opponent, but she also prefers to use plain blasts of pure dark energy. Including her family-learned spells:
Shadow Dome
A great dome of black energy raises over Zia's opponent, enclosing around them, and then shrinking, causing the skin of a weaker opponent to be rendered of all flesh, but a stronger opponent could get by with minor to major scratches, but a world of pain. Can work on all creatures.
Impaler
A massive amount of spikes, made of coagulated black magic, impale Zia's target. The damage is not literal impalation, but it will make her opponent violently sick, and unable to stand in some cases, giving her a distinct (And some might say unfair) advantage. No effect on the undead (Vampires, mummies, etc)
Vertigo
A mass amount of hands - crafted of black energy - grab and spin Zia's target, getting them - if not extremely dizzy - very confused and disoriented. Taking advantage of this, Zia will rush in and do a physical attack. Works on everything - but isn't fool-proof.
Inverted Aura
Zia grabs her opponent in a great bear hug, hoping to cling on for at least two seconds. The victum's aura will glow brightly, before crushing in, causing non-elemental damage, and opening many major cuts and wounds, causing internal damamge if she's lucky. Works on anything Zia can 'get her hands on.' (Get it?) Obviously won't work on Slug-like monsters, spiky things, and very very obese people.
